Malawian President Joyce Banda has decried the
lack of support for one another amongst women, a problem she says exists
throughout the whole world.

"In Malawi, 85% of the people are rural based. So the
majority of women are grassroots based and that’s where I’ve worked. I’ve
worked with women in the informal sector, I've fought against maternal
mortality, women’s gender based violence. So those are the women who have stood
by me through thick and thin.
"The problem comes when it is now women that are higher up,
women that are your level that usually won’t stand with you, that usually don’t
support you".

Banda, who is Africa's second female president after Liberia's
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, came to power in April last year following the death of President
Bingu wa Mutharika.
